Best For Serious woodworkers, spoon carvers, and bowl artisans who require a double-edged hook knife capable of efficient, bidirectional cutting and high-precision detailing in concave wooden forms.

Key Features

• Optimized Double-Edge Bevels: The blade is sharpened on both sides, allowing for versatile cutting directions and exceptional fluidity when clearing material from deep, rounded wooden interiors.

• Superior Edge Geometry: Meticulously refined bevels ensure the blade glides through grain with minimal resistance, significantly reducing the fatigue and safety risks associated with dull or poorly-profiled tools.

• Professional-Grade Steel: Constructed from high-quality steel hardened to 56-58 HRC, providing the perfect balance between edge-holding capability and ease of field-sharpening.

• Purpose-Built Design: The 162’s curve is specifically calibrated to handle the medium-radius requirements of both large spoons and smaller bowls, making it one of the most versatile hook knives in your workshop.

Pro Tip & Carving Maintenance: Because the 162 is a double-edged hook knife, maintaining both sides of the blade is essential for a balanced cutting performance. Use a fine-grit slip stone or a diamond-coated honing tool to maintain the internal bevels, ensuring you apply consistent pressure on both edges during sharpening. If you notice the blade "catching" or tearing the grain instead of slicing cleanly, it is a sign that the edges need a quick strop—frequent light stropping will keep your 162 performing at a professional standard for years to come!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
